Accessing logs

If you have not yet installed the logging and monitoring components, go through the installation instructions to set up the necessary components first.

Kibana and Elasticsearch

  • To open the Kibana UI (the visualization tool for Elasticsearch), start a local proxy with the following command:

    kubectl proxy

    This command starts a local proxy of Kibana on port 8001. For security reasons, the Kibana UI is exposed only within the cluster.

  • Navigate to the Kibana UI. It might take a couple of minutes for the proxy to work.

    The Discover tab of the Kibana UI looks like this:

    Kibana UI Discover tab

    You can change the time frame of logs Kibana displays in the upper right corner of the screen. The main search bar is across the top of the Discover page.

  • As more logs are ingested, new fields will be discovered. To have them indexed, go to "Management" > "Index Patterns" > Refresh button (on top right) > "Refresh fields".

Accessing stdout/stderr logs

To find the logs sent to stdout/stderr from your application in the Kibana UI:

  1. Click Discover on the left side bar.
  2. Choose logstash-* index pattern on the left top.
  3. Input tag: kubernetes* in the top search bar then search.

Accessing request logs

To find the request logs of your application in the Kibana UI :

  1. Click Discover on the left side bar.
  2. Choose logstash-* index pattern on the left top.
  3. Input tag: "requestlog.logentry.istio-system" in the top search bar then search.

Accessing configuration and revision logs

To access the logs for a configuration:

  • Find the configuration's name with the following command:
kubectl get configurations
  • Replace <CONFIGURATION_NAME> and enter the following search query in Kibana:
kubernetes.labels.serving_knative_dev\/configuration: <CONFIGURATION_NAME>

To access logs for a revision:

  • Find the revision's name with the following command:
kubectl get revisions
  • Replace <REVISION_NAME> and enter the following search query in Kibana:
kubernetes.labels.serving_knative_dev\/revision: <REVISION_NAME>

Accessing build logs

To access logs for a Knative Build:

  • Find the build's name in the specified in the .yaml file:

    apiVersion: build.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: <BUILD_NAME>

    Or find build names with the following command:

    kubectl get builds

  • Replace <BUILD_NAME> and enter the following search query in Kibana:

kubernetes.labels.build\-name: <BUILD_NAME>

Accessing request logs

To access the request logs, enter the following search in Kibana:

tag: "requestlog.logentry.istio-system"

Request logs contain details about requests served by the revision. Below is a sample request log:
